Hi Penny he had ed psych report nearly a year ago and she classed him on the severe side of dyslexia, as did the literacy specialist teacher, gwynne, my GP is going to refer him to special dyslexia centre in manchester, and hope the NHS will fund, Helen,he does need the help so much, he goes to a small village school which is lovely but i feel isnt meeting his needs, his IQ is a year ahead but his reading age is 5! Tanks, Caz xxx |

Sorry to say but unless you have good teachers YOU will have to fight..... My husbands nephew is ADHT (or something) and his sister has fought for 8 yrs to be recognised even down to her daughter has had to be put on the 'at risk' register. My sister has a child who tho' not dislexic (sp) has something similar where all his words flow in to each other, and as a young child he was so hard to under stand. He is now 12 but only diagnosed in the last 2 years, when pushed( as our step mum is was a teacher for the impaired). So fight and good luck Jac ps pm me if you want more info |

Hi Carol, I work with pre-school children and it is very hard for us to get a statement arranged if we think one of the children requires it - but not impossible. Keep pushing the school, make appointments to see their special needs co-ordinator and ask what they are doing to help you and your son, follow everything up and if all else fails you could always arrange to have your son privately assessed to judge his level of need. Don't give up as the sooner he receives help the better it will be for him. Wishing you well, Helen xx |

The sooner he has a statement the better - see if you can get your GP to back you as well. Schools are reluctant to 'label' children but the sooner they get extra help the more likely they are to learn to cope with their problems.. Gwynne |

I have been trying to get my son assessed for something - long story . Anyway I asked the SENCO would there be any chance he could be statemented &she replied I wouldn't have a chance as there was a boy in Juniors who has been diagnosed as Autistic since reception & is still not statemented!! Not sure how hard you would have to fight. Has he been seen by the Ed Psycologist (sp)? |

How difficult is it to get one? My 8 year old dyslexic lad is classed as 1 in 100 kids who have a large discrepancy between his IQ and literacy ability, the school keep fobbing me off about his statement, do you think he has a chance and am i right in thinking i will really have to fight for it? Thanks, Caz xxx |
